Human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana , has said that the Presidency has no power to stop any peaceful protest by aggrieved Nigerians who are calling for the replacement of the service chiefs.
The senior lawyer quoted Mr Shehu: “The Presidency wishes to caution a section of the political class against misleading the public and inciting protests against the heads of military institutions. “The authorities of the Nigeria Police Force are urged not to harass aggrieved Nigerians for protesting against perceived injustice in the country.
“In fact, the right to assemble and protest peaceful was won by the Nigerian people in the case of All Nigerian People’s Party v Inspector-General of Police 12 WRN 65,” he stated.
The act of protest is one of the cannons of democratic values. Trying to stop people from engaging in protest is an invitation to anarchism. It's only in this government that people are arrested for protesting. In the previous government, Falana,Soyinka, Bakare, protested freely
I think there's manifest conspiracy to make Nigeria ungovernable to PMB. Gov Wike ban Youth Associations & protest in Rivers State. The conspirators aren't disturbed by such act but are only vocal when PMB's does anything, not minding the situation.
